Not only do you do perfect work but your narration skills are second to none. If you ever quit concrete you can make a living at narration. Well done as usual. Great video.
yes you can learn A LOT from watching this channel and other youtube. (even tho old timers will say you can't learn from youtube, u can, haha) But just remember this, concrete is like no other trade you cannot just pull out your nails and move a stud to a different place when u make a mistake. You can't take a break and there are no do overs. Be sure to have A LOT of hands on practice before you take on any "finished" projects!!
"Hi, by watching this video you have agreed to our terms and conditions written in section 2 paragraph 22. According to our rules after watching our video you are only supposed to hire us to do your concrete from now on. Thank you."
The fact that you show and explain these videos, for me, really shows your integrity. A fine example of letting the work speak for itself. Much Respect, Many Thanks Mr. Odell and the team.
Hi David, that backyard is looking great, you and your crew are true artist of the trade, I hope you are keeping safe and well, best regards to you all.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete and as guy that doesn’t know jack sh** that has lived in the same place almost my whole life I am not qualified to tell you “looks pretty sweet”
@Dave Odell, you should do a video on dos and don'ts. For example when you should use dowels, expansion foam, rebar, fiber mesh and any other insider info that you can think of. Thanks for the great content as always.
I'm glad to see you guys pulling your steel UP. I like to use chairs But I've seen other RUclips concrete men who aren't pulling their steel off the dirt, or Styrofoam They do nice work but leaving the steel on the bottom of the pour defeats having steel Nice work sir, keep pulling your steel
for the steps, my Dad always taught me to bevel the riser form to allow to allow to finish the back, and the riser should be cut back by 1/4" from bottom of riser to top to prevent heel scraps. My Dad was a pro at concrete, I wish I knew how to do it now.....
Loving the camera angels! Looks awesome. But personally I myself couldn't do what you do, it's art. More than steelfixing. Wich is what I do! Viewer from Australia. Another great job
around 4:00 mark you say you don't need to do tapping. How do you do that?...I didn't catch it in the video. Do you simply tap the forms with a blunt object a couple of times?
Awesome work! I’ve been binge watching this channel since a video came across my page. I noticed the rebar was not in the lower level as shown in the first videos part. I’m wondering how come?
May i ask what is the purpose of the lines that are made in the concrete? is it for optic only or it has any other purpose too? I'm from Europe so this is interesting for me
What are the pro's and con's of putting some expansion material between the existing outside wall and the new stairs? I'm surprised you poured right up to the wall.
You should try attaching a go pro to the trowel, that would be cool. I hope I spelled trowel right, I don’t know anything about concrete, but I always watch these videos
Hey, as someone with a background in landscape architecture and environmental design, why not plant the middle portion with a real drought resistant grass at least? The artificial grass is really atrocious.
Fantastic work as usual. My only issue with these standard concrete steps is that they have no drip edge. All the dirt on each step gets washed down the face of the riser and tends to get stuck there. It's looks like crap after a while. But that was the owner's call to install these types of steps. You rarely see concrete steps with a drip edge. You have to go with a sandstone step where they chip out the edge so the water drips straight down.

Sounds like fun
Every time I see a concrete video I get reminded of why i'm so glad I do electrical.
I hear that
Yeah man , a lot of people arent built for it
@@antstrickland9905
For sure
It's brutal
@@OdellCompleteConcrete its MEN like us that keep the world spinning , good brother
It is because you have to be a man in order to deal with concrete.
beautiful to watch professionals work concrete -- pure art. Thank you for a great video. Someday I will increase my DIY skill level.
Thank you very much!
No honeycombs,no stucco 0.0those steps are a true beauty great job👍 .Your muds grade A too!!!
Thanks 👍
You have a ribeye out of chuck
Your narration is so relaxing, I nerded out watching this, this was cool, thank you.
Ty
I really enjoy the narration on your videos. Feels like I am taking a class. Really love how the stairs came out.
Awesome, thank you!
So much better than others. you're the best in the west!
TY
Thank you David, adding music at 6:38 was just right and added to the enjoyment of watching the work!
TY
I think it would be nice to shout out your employees from time to time. They seem like hard workers and know why they are doing.
Yes they do know what they're doing. When I see consistency in there effort I will shout it out.
@@OdellCompleteConcrete as a business owner myself I long for the “consistent” effort from my employees.
I love watching these videos, hopefully in the future I would've learned enough to do some concrete work at a future home.
I'm sure you will
I know what you mean, I actually did use some of his tips when doing some small concrete repairs with my son.

Hire a professional. You only get ONE shot at it. You screw it up and its that way for 100 years unless you jack hammer it out.
Nice work. Concrete is backbreaking hard work. To do it NICE like these guys is a hard earned art.
I concur
TY
I agree. I love watching the videos. Keeps me watching for hours. Hopefully one day I can try my hand.
You'll be ready

Very professional work!

Wow amazing. What is the ration of your mix, and is it recommended for an outdoor slab in a very tropical climate areas?
Great craftsmenship. I knopw from personal experience how hard it is to work with concrete.
beautiful work. always admire the quality workmanship
TY
Nicely done, how long do you leave the wood to the steps before taking it off..
1 hour to two depending on the weather
Dang Mr. Odell, you're putting Tim to work doing concrete AND filming. We need more of our kids to get their hands dirty and put in that work!
Yed I concur

With no paper we actually stabilized the wall

why do the steps look uneven they are all different sizes the tread is off and the rise thats messed up.
I love that pole trowel. It cuts the work by about 66%. I even broom behind it, depending on the situation.
Yes it can be done
@@OdellCompleteConcrete that’s how u do it in Australia stick trowel, or trowel machine,knee board only when have to.
Excellent work !! Well done!
Thank you! Cheers!
